i zero in in particular on education. i think the most important thing we can do is have a first-class public school system, and the president, his first legislative priority was the no child left behind act. it was the first piece of legislation we introduced. we got it passed that first summer on a bipartisan basis. we even had ted kennedy on board for the effort. it does several things. it establishes high standards. at the same time, it sets up a system of testing with respect to our school system, so we can establish accountability to parents and make certain that they understand how well their students are doing, and they have the opportunity to move students out of poorly performing schools to good schools. it strikes me that that is absolutely the heart of what needs to be done from the standpoint of education. it's also important as we go forward in the next term, we want to be able to take what we've done for elementary education and move it into the secondary education. it's working. we've seen reports now of a

but it is unique in higher education. basically they admit the top 10% of every high school in the state. and that helps to get them diversity because the state -- the schools are de facto segregated. no other university uses that, so it's possible that the court just wants to look at that particular policy. if they do -- >> many people think they will expand it that this will really not just look at that particular policy where they admit the top 10% of every single school. but, in fact, that they will look at affirmative action overall and the makeup of the supreme court could have a very, you know, dramatic opinion pact on how that's going to happen. let me ask you a question between -- from what this woman is saying in this case, abigail noel fisher. there are people in my class with lower grades who weren't in all the activities i was in who are being accepted to u.t. and the only difference is the color of our skin. for an institution of higher learning to act this way makes no sense to me. do you think she's wrong

i think it's quite appropriate for employers to educate their workers about the implication of more regulations, higher taxes. we talked a lot on this show about when you talk about taxing the top 1, or 2 3% that those tend to be the employers in the country. i'll tell you this also, martha i talk to a lot of employers around the country. this is not isolated. i talked to a guy who owns 50 fast-food restaurants. he says the obama healthcare is going to cost him $11,000 more a year per employee. it's going to take a million dollars out of the business. that's the type of impact the regulations and taxes have and i do think they reduce employment. >> matt, david siegel says this. he says we pay state taxes, federal sacksess, property taxes, sale and use taxes. workers compensation taxes and unemployment taxes i have to hire an entire department to manage all the taxes. i guess even the people who help manage the taxes will probably still have their jobs either way. what do you think about that matt? >> if you take care of taxes and regulations your jobs will probably be booming in the next couple
